Advocate/AP article

Former LSU and NFL football star Leonard Marshall says his football playing days left him struggling with short-term memory loss and erratic behavior.

In 2015, Marshall spoke about the dangers of concussions during a Louisiana coaches clinic. He said he displays the symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE. He also said he was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease.

Sad to hear, one of my favorite Tigers and a great pro.

I've been to a few of Chris Nowinski's lectures about concussions/CTE and the research they do at BU. As a guy who got his "bell rung" more than a few times in football and beyond, that shite is fricking terrifying.

That guy was a monster back in the day, teamed up with LT on the same Giants defense. So sad to hear about this.

How many brains do you think CTE research has in their fridge by now?

In HS I played with a guy that got his bell rung on the KO team and got up and went to the other team's sidelines and just stood there. Coach Weiner sent me over to get him after the next play. He literally didn't know where he was.

Marshall was one bad man 
I'm sorry to hear that he is going thru this.

Sad to hear. My brother played against Leonard in High School. My brother was a 5'8" 160 pound right guard. As u can imagine it was long night for him. LOL
